in thread PRNG/TRNG Cesaro's theorem

There's also this Cesaro's theorem: mathworld.wolfram.com/CesarosTheorem.html
But I'm going to need a picture before I can figure out what that page is even talking about.

Re^3: PRNG/TRNG Cesaro's theorem

    to make sure the instructions in my project has this. Cesaro's theorem states that given two random integers, x and y, the probability that gcd(x, y) = 1 is 6/(Pi^2).
      I'm trying to track that result down right now (I see it attributed to at least three different mathematicians). In the mean time, do you have the random number generators working? (I assume they were chosen for you as part of the assignment, but maybe not.) And do you have code to calculate the gcd?
